Description:
Spanish School, 17th Century, The Holy Family, oil on canvas, 142 x 125 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Italy; Private collection, Australia, purchased at auction in Rome in 1986. This fine Spanish Baroque religious painting combines devotional sincerity with a sensitive, even sentimental naturalism, very much in the manner of Murillo. While evidently not by the hand or even the immediate circle of the master, the present work does evince many of his historical and stylistic inflections, and can probably be attributed to a contemporary artist from the School of Granada.
